JNO. ABERNETHY, OF WOODBURY, CONNECTICUT.

ATTACI-IIN'G BUCKLES T0 SUSPENDER-S, 86C.

Specification of Letters Patent No. 6,575, dated July 3, 1849.

To all whom t may concern Be it known that I, JOHN ABERNETHY, of IVoodbury, in the county of Litchfield and State of Connecticut, have invented a new Method of Attaching Buckles, Loops, &c., to Elastic, and other Goods; and I do hereby declare that the following is afull and exact description.

The nature of my invention consists in forming a clasp of tin, iron, copper, brass, or any other metal in common use, by which to attach the buckle and loop made use of to the elastic or other goods.

To enable others to make use of by invention, I will proceed to describe its construction and operation.

I take sheets of any of the metals in common use, and cut them into pieces of the requisite length and width for the purpose intended. These pieces are then bent around into the form of a cylinder with open jaws. These jaws may be made smoo-th, or with teeth at the option of the operator. I then introduce along with the buckle or loop the goods to be attached, and press down the jaws of the cylinder firmly upon them, as seen at A A, in the accompanying dra-wings.

I/Vhat I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

The method herein described of attaching buckles, loo-ps, &c., to elastic or other goods by means of my clasp, which I now particularly use for attaching buckles and loops to springs for vests and pantaloons, using in its construction any metallic plate most suitable for the purpose.

JOHN ABERNETHY.
